Chapter 375 New Ideas

Fortunately, there is only this round of artillery attacks, and Zheng Zhilong is also very clear. It is too late today and he is fighting on other people's territory again, so we cannot panic.

This round of artillery fire was only for the people of Goryeo to know that the Ming Dynasty army has come, and you have to settle the evil you have done in the past.

Regarding the maritime war, Zheng Zhilong and Shi Lang are the most skilled in this era. The reason why they didn’t have many items before was mainly because they didn’t have good things at their hands.

Now the court has equipped them with such good naval warships. If there is no contribution, it will be their own problem.

This expedition to Goryeo is just a test of the savage. His Royal Highness said what the current naval fleet is worth? Compared with the future naval fleet, this is only a fraction.

It turned out that when Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the court, he did not recover, because he felt that it was a chaotic world, and a chaotic world was a time for heroes. Who didn’t have the idea of ​​a king, prince, general, and minister?

However, after surrendering to the court, Zheng Zhilong slowly changed his thoughts, and the hearts of the people slowly moved closer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The army was also in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince. Take the navy officers and soldiers whom he surrendered for as an example. Now they are still in command, but if they want to start the army and fight against the court, he cannot guarantee that many of them can still rise up with the rise.

Why did these brothers who died in just over a year have become like this?

The fundamental reason is that on the one hand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has drawn a grand blueprint for them, giving them an opportunity to be famous for the ages. Who doesn’t want such an opportunity?

On the other hand, it is naturally economic generosity. It turned out that he was a pirate with Zheng Zhilong and was later recruited by the Ming Dynasty, but their treatment has never been very good, especially the grassroots navy soldiers.

It’s different now. One person is a soldier and the whole family is not hungry. That’s what infantry is talking about.

The excitement level of naval officers and soldiers is higher than that of infantry.

Zheng Zhilong has calculated the calculations, and took the tens of thousands of naval soldiers under him as an example. If he was allowed to support him, his family's family would be lost in just one or two years.

So even if he had that dream of an emperor, his subordinates would not be able to mess with him, not to mention that there is the most important point. With these cannons, what's the use of without gunpowder?

He once asked his subordinates whether they could imitate this kind of gunpowder, but he tried various formulas for thousands of taels of silver, but did not make this gunpowder. It was from that time that Zheng Zhilong had given up.

Follow His Highness the Crown Prince honestly.

This also has a chance to be famous for all eternity, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite good at our father and son.

The expedition to Goryeo was handed over to Zheng Zhilong. What else did the Inland Water Naval Master want under the control of his son Zheng Sen?

The only thing that is lacking now is the contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

The Kingdom of Goryeo is a starting point, the starting point for making achievements on its own.

"Ship."

Shi Lang crawled out of the cabin with a dark face.

Just now, Zheng Zhilong asked him to go to the cabin to check it out to see how much damage the artillery cannons have on warships. You should know that all cannons have recoils. In this era, they are all wooden sailboats, which are extremely harmful to the ship.

"Our big ship is OK, but the small ship has been damaged, but it is not a big deal. It must be repaired after a high-intensity battle."

Shi Lang has also been making a living at sea all his life. Although he knows that the sailboats given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are very strong, the artillery fired quite fiercely just now, so the current situation is now.

"Send orders immediately, and all artillery fires in dispersed unless necessary."

Although all artillery volleys can bring greater results, nowadays, in order to make the warships live longer, it is better to fire the cannons separately.

"Shuai Ye, don't we still have many crossbows? In the inland river, we mostly use crossbows, and there are some places to install furnace guns on the upper deck. I think the army of Goryeo is not very strong. It is better for us to install crossbows and combine them to achieve good results."

Shi Lang remembered the cannons thrown there in the lower cabin.

When the navy just changed his clothes, most of the ships used crossbows, but now with these field guns, no one is willing to use those crossbows.

After all, the shells of that thing were modified with grenades, and the explosion was not powerful enough, and it was also troublesome to load them, so many water soldiers threw those things under them in order to save trouble.

"You're right. Those things can almost be ignored for the recoil of the sailboat. These kids have started to be lazy. They have taken advantage of the fact that they have nothing to do tonight and install more crossbows on the deck. If the enemy is not strong enough, they can just use these things in the future."

Zheng Zhilong looked at the deck and found that there were indeed several installation points around the deck. When the ships were delivered, His Royal Highness the Prince also made a modification.

"Shishuai, what does it mean to reveal to us about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How far should we fight?"

Just after finishing his work, Shi Lang picked up a steamed bun next to him. There was nothing delicious here. There was canned beef next to it, and it started to taste it.

Living at sea, these cans and other things are even more important, and you can sail for one or two months.

Hearing Shi Lang say this, Zheng Zhilong sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"Opening the battle is the crown prince. There will be no Goryeo Kingdom in the future, only our Goryeo Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty."

After hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, Shi Lang clamped the steamed buns in his hand into a small ball.

It was obvious that this guy swallowed a mouthful. He didn't really believe that the Crown Prince had such an idea. Are we not the Celestial Kingdom? Isn't this a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty?

As long as they recognize the status of the Ming Dynasty as the sect leader and then send envoys over, isn’t this matter over? Didn’t they do this before?

"Is this a bit over? If it is spread, it will damage the majesty of our Ming Dynasty and say that we are competing for profit with these small foreign countries... Isn't that?"

This guy Shi Lang had attended a private school in the early years, so he still had some thoughts about some scholars...

But is the name of a country above the Celestial Empire useful?
